I was sitting behind two Vandy fans, who were obviously having more fun than the rest of us Tiger fans in the packed PMAC last night. Bottom line: A.J. Ogilvy killed us, scoring a career high of 33 points. Pretty good for a player who averages around 16 points a game; which only brings one question to mind. Where we really that bad?
The first half was nearly a snooze—at least for the Tigers. Ogilvy scored nine points in the first eleven minutes, setting a tone for the game that wasn't looking good for our senior night. While Vandy was draining threes, we were having trouble nailing a hook shot. The Tigers only shot at 36 percent.
LSU's Marcus Thorton scored 18 points as the leader for the Tigers, Tasmin Mitchell put up 16 points, while Bo Spencer added 14. At the half, it was 37-26 Vandy.
The second half of the game was much more exciting, but ultimately lead to great disappointment. Mitchell and Spencer were able to cut the deficit some with Mitchell's consecutive four points and Spencer's three, bringing the score to 52-46. Thorton the drained a three, making it 56-54, and Spencer's next three put it at 58-57.
After Thorton's foul, the game tied at 60-60 with just under six minutes left. However, the Tigers forgot to score for an entire two minutes, letting Vandy take the lead at 64-60, and soon 66-60.
The game ended at 67-75, with Vandy rubbing the win in our faces as their last seven points were scored in the final minute of the game. LSU plays their last game of the regular season this Saturday at Auburn.
